The Chairman, Osun Independent Electoral Commission, Otunba Segun Oladitan has described as baseless and unfounded the rumors making the rounds that the Local Government Election in Osun State has been slated for October 29, 2022.

According to a statement personally signed by the OSIEC Chairman and released to the Press in Osogbo, the only recognized body to announce the date for the Local Government Election is the Osun Independent Electoral Commission, hence any date coming from any other source aside OSIEC should be disregarded by the public

Otunba Segun Oladitan states that at the appropriate time, the Commission will come out with the election guidelines to put a stop to the unnecessary rumors being peddled around.

The statement, therefore, expresses the commitment of OSIEC to conduct a credible and acceptable Local Government Election in the state at the appropriate time.
